    Come back and post after your loved one gets taken out by an uninsured Thai motorist and you get smacked with a million baht of medical bills.  Or electrocuted in a shoddy hotel pool.  Or has a sign fall on them in a breeze...

     

     

    Hey none of those criteria applied to her. She rented the bike, but did not take the time to see if her insurance covered her. Plus I would bet dollars to donuts she had never ridden one before.   So the guilt falls directly on her. She seems to spend more time trying to generate more news stories about herself hoping to get more money to her Go Fund Me Page, than she does to recovery.    Sorry for her yes, but it stops there.

  2. Koh Chang in the dry season has a number of hotels directly on the beach and they tend to be cheaper than in the south. Be a nice trip, renting a motorbike to "carefully' drive around and have a look.  I like it more each time we go, just spent 4 nights for my 65 birthday with the wife and kids who were home from America.

    Thailand is Buddhist. Suggest you don't come for Chrimbo the falang food is crap unless you can afford stupid prices and then it's still crap.

     

     

    Get up on the wrong side of bed? The post makes you look moronic in the global world we live in today.  Add to that the fact that BKK is very cosmopolitan indeed.  Pa la and bugs tonight with your tilac? 

  4. This is the most encouraging report I have seen on the subject. Also was in Foodland at noon today and all liquor prices were still the same.

    BANGKOK, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Thailand’s new excise tax law will see higher prices of certain goods, including some alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, and should generate about 12 billion baht ($360 million) in tax revenue, a senior government official said on Saturday.

    The law, effective on Saturday, is aimed at making tax collection more transparent and should not have a big impact on overall product prices, Somchai Poolsavasdi, director-general of the Thailand’s Excise Department, told a briefing.

    “Overall, this will increase tax revenue by 2 percent,” he said.

    The tax on alcohol will increase by up to 30 baht per bottle, while beer will rise by 0.50 baht per can and 2.66 baht per bottle, the official said.

    The tax on imported wine will rise at least 110 baht per bottle, and cigarettes will increase by 2 to 15 baht per pack, the official said.
